• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

Anschutz 1448 Claybirding 22lr

Sako Collectors Club Discussion Forum

IMG_0240.JPG IMG_0243.JPG IMG_0236.JPG Picked this up last week out of curiosity. I have a 22lr and 17hm2 Anschutz that I'm very happy with so figured I couldn't go wrong.
It's a model 1448, smooth bore 22lr that says "Claybirding" new in box. It appears to be .22 cal throughout the entire bore and does not expand to a .410 like the "Routledge" bores. I believe it's built on a 1451 action. It is also stamped Tristar on the right side of the receiver which I assume means they imported it to the US. Here's the problem.... I called Anschutz North America and they have never heard of the 1448. I called Tristar and they have no record of importing it.
Does anyone have any information on this? Could it have possibly have been part of a special order by a distributor or for a specific club? And of course any idea of the value?

Thanks,
Luke
 
Isn't a smooth bore 22lr what they call a "garden gun" and made to shoot those 22lr shotshells, aka "rat shot"?
Supposed to be used around the garden/yard to dispatch pests.
